  • Introduction: Endometriosis is a common chronic inflammatory disorder in women, characterized by the growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. This ectopic implantation and proliferation lead to a cascade of inflammatory responses, resulting in severe clinical consequences, particularly in the realm of infertility. The disease manifests through mechanisms such as pelvic adhesions, anatomical distortion, and impaired folliculogenesis, significantly compromising reproductive function.
  • Methods: The present paper is a review study. In this study,10 articles published from 2020 to 2025, which were in the form of quantitative studies, meta analysis and original research and systematic review were examined. Entry criteria included: Availability of full text and articles published between 2020 and 2025 The study used the keywords: Robotic Surgery - Endometriosis - Laparoscopy
  • Results: Key treatments in the management of endometriosis include medical management and surgical interventions, among which laparoscopic surgery is considered the gold standard. With the advent of the new generation of Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Surgery (RALS), it has become possible to perform more complex procedures with minimal risk to patients. The latest models available in the medical market, such as the Da Vinci Xi and SP, offer special features such as enhanced mobility of mechanical arms, fluorescence imaging, and single-port surgery capability. RALS, with its greater precision and accessibility, facilitates rapid learning and streamlined control through advanced ergonomic systems, thereby reducing surgeon fatigue and increasing productivity.
  • Conclusion: While robotic-assisted surgery offers significant advantages over conventional laparoscopy, including enhanced precision and ergonomics, its widespread adoption is hindered by substantial economic and infrastructural barriers. High procedural costs and extensive infrastructure requirements critically limit accessibility, particularly in rural and low-resource settings where surgical expertise and facilities are scarce. Future progress hinges on dedicated research and development efforts aimed at cost reduction and technological innovation to democratize access to advanced minimally invasive surgical care.
